I have a 2020 Macbook Air M1, use it for xcode, it struggles to build a basic react native based app with watch-widget, but man it is slick, I love thin laptops. I have a carbon X1 too

Struggle as in the build takes 3+ mins

In general though it's cool, maybe when charging it gets warm but I use it on a desk mostly

A general gripe I have switching devices is the keyboard layout ha cmd+c vs. ctrl+c

Stick to an ext keyboard I guess

Edit: 16GB RAM is what I have I sometimes get the "out of application memory" message

Anyway I use my computer for freelancing/working on multiple platforms, it was a good buy (used), alternatively I could have went with a mini but that screen is so good on a mac (although I develop with an ultrawide external monitor).



you can remap modifier keys if you so inclined in keyboard settings, without additional software, and have separate settings per internal and external keyboard.


Right, but physically I think the Mac left-most bottom button is fn or something instead of control but yeah just one of those things to deal with


You can remap that as well.
